County Director for Licensing and Compliance, David Kebenei, who is also the head of the technical team has disclosed that the Uasin Gishu County business mapping exercise has already surpassed the 25,000 data mark that was last collected in 2015.

The exercise entered its third day on Wednesday.

Mr Kebenei, while taking Director for Environment Kipchumba Barno through data analysis and streaming, said they are optimistic that the exercise will achieve its intended target.

“By close of business (Wednesday), we will be able to attain our daily target of 30,000 businesses,” noted Kebenei.

According to Mr Barno, the data captured will enable them to easily distribute garbage/ litter bins and other environmental activities in areas that have recorded high concentrations of businesses.

“Digitization of services is the best thing and through the mapping initiative the county administration will have a clear approach when it comes to projects and other services,” poised Barno.
